Welcome Back Drinks 

We’re thrilled to return to Kristin Hjellegjerde’s beautiful gallery for our Welcome Back Drinks, where we’ll be joined by a dynamic female-only tailoring team creating bespoke suits for modern women and also beautiful dresses, etc...

Since founding her gallery, Kristin Hjellegjerde has built an impressive global presence with spaces in London, Berlin, and West Palm Beach. Her commitment to cross-cultural dialogue has led to bold exhibitions, including Kubatana—Norway’s largest African art show—and an upcoming Latin American showcase in 2027. A newly renovated London Bridge space will open the same year.

Joining us are Rosie and Jemma, who carry on the legacy of Phoebe Gormley, founder of Gormley & Gamble—the first women’s-only tailor on Savile Row. While Phoebe is now pursuing new ventures, Rosie and Jemma lead with flair:

• Rosie, Queen of the Atelier, works hands-on with clients, designing and fitting exquisite, made-to-measure pieces
• Jemma, Queen of the Wardrobe, brings her styling expertise and business acumen, helping clients choose looks that blend seamlessly with their lifestyle.

To toast the evening, Victoria Stephens Clarkson MW, founder of The Little Fine Wine Company, has curated a trio of wines (white, rosé, red) by female winemakers. We’ll also enjoy sparkling wine from Dawn Jones Cooper of Château Monfaucon, and organic grape juice for non-drinkers.

Michelin-quality canapés will be served by Lorenzo Salami and his (mostly female!) team of private chefs.

We can’t wait to celebrate with you and raise a glass to brilliant women shaping their industries.

In the London Women and Wine Club, we bring together women to connect, learn, and be inspired over great wine and great conversation. Our mission has always been to celebrate strong women and community values.

And these resonate deeply with the fight against breast cancer. Many of us have witnessed firsthand the toll cancer takes on loved ones and the courage it demands. That’s why we’re proud and excited to offer a new type of event : taking part in The Moonwalk London 2026! It is a wonderful opportunity to raise awareness and walk together in honour of those affected (and continue to network and chat and prolong these friendships in a healthy way).

We will participate as a Team:  The London and Wine Club Team. There are various way to participate

- Physically on the 16th of May in London: either 26.2 miles; or 15.1 miles

- Virtually: (Wherever you want)  choice of 3 dates and choice of distance on the 9th of May, 16th, 23rd 

Please choose the version that suits you. You cannot, however, walk the longer version if you have chosen the shorter one. However,  you can stop at any time and walk at your own rhythm. It is not a race, it is a walk in beautiful London for a cause that every woman could be exposed to.

To register with us, follow the link below (it will lead you to the creation of our Moon Walk Team) and register on our website too.

From the Moon Walk website:

Walk the Walk, and all the charities we grant money to, depend on the fundraising of each and every Moonwalker. We know that you will do your very best to help us. Consider the ticking of the box a commitment to yourself, and your fellow walkers, as helping to beat breast and other cancers. I agree that I aim to raise a minimum sponsorship of £200 for Walk the Walk Worldwide. I understand that even if I am part of a Team, each person in the Team must aim to raise £200. I also understand that by taking part in this challenge, I am committing all the money I raise to Walk the Walk Worldwide, and that my funds must not go to any other charity
